CENTRAL FARMERS* INSTITUTE

The 111111u11l nleeting of the Central Farina-r`s stituu- opens to-day i11 Prince of Wales College llall at one o`clock. This will be o11e of the most important meetings of the year. lt is tl1e far111crs’ parliamerit and represents all the organized i11terests ot`.our fariiicrs. The .\ct of l11corporatio11 which brought the (,`e11tr11l institute i11to being provides that delegates may hc sent. not only from the lifty 11111] odd farmers' institutes tl1rougl1out tl1e provi111-c, hut from the Fruit Growers' .\ssociatfio11, the Fariners’ and Dairymen’s .'\ssocif1tio11 and the Poultry .»\ssociatio11. The object of tl1e Ce11tr11l Institute sl1all be. 11ccordi11g to tl1c .-\cl of I11corpor11tio11, “to prornote tl1e agricultural i11ter- csts of the proviilce, by establishing 11 closer u11io11 aliiongst the l"111'111c1's’ hlstitutes, so as to enable tl1e1ll to make co1n111o11 cause wl1e11 the ge11c1’11l good of tl1e farlning con111111nity is concerned."

The object isa broad a11d generous one and as tl1e

delegates who will be present represent the farmers

l11-

anrl are supported by the wllolc organized farming co111mu11it_\', it will be seen that llleir powers and t 1eir rcspomibilities are large. .

.-\ 11un1ber ol' resolutions have bce11 placed i11 tl1c

hands of tl1e Secretary, .\Ir E. B. .\lcLarcn, of George- t1»1\'11. who came in yesterday to make tl1e necessary ;1r1~:1nge1nt-11t.~' for and to be present at the meeting. _\n1ong tho.-e are underdraixlagc. railway service, ell- fo1'ren1r11t of the Noxious \\`c-eds’ .\ct, the ligg Circle }l11ve111e11t and 111.'111_\' others. in all of which the f11r111ers of the provitice are vitally interested.

The di~eu~;~io11 by well iilformed. broad minded

and intelligent n1e11_ of que-stio11s of general interest to the :1gri1'11hur11l welfare of the province cannot fail to he prolit11ble. .<o111e at least of the subjects, s11cl1 as 1u1derdr11i11agc. will probably, in the near future, cn- gage tl1e attention of thc legislature. .=\s :1 guide to such legisl11tion_ the opinions of the farmers will be valtlable. 'l`hey. ol' all people, know the need of uiidcrdraimgc, know what the want of it has cost the province, particularly last year, when sucl1 large areas were 1111F11 for cultivation o11 account of the excessive rains. Sonic at least of the delegates will be in a position to speak from experience. their o\vn or their 11eighbours`. and some also will be able to tell what the results have been of experiments already tried. That many 111'cas require 1111derdrai11age will be conceded by all: that others do not will also be conceded. \\fhether the whole burden of tl1e cost should fall upon those who are so unforttinate as to need it or should be shared by tl1c more fortunate o11cs will be Well woflli threslling ont. lloubtlcss it will be treated i11 a broad, gencrotis spirit with 11 view to the welfare of tl1e whole provillce as well as of the affected areas.

One n111in fact should, and we have no doubt will,

govern the discussioils on all subjects, namely, tl1at every waste acre. every neglected field, every farm that docs not produce to the utmost capacity, is 11 loss to the |»1‘o1‘i1u'1- as well as to the illdividual ov1‘1ler, and that 11ll thc resources of tl1e province should be directed towards climinatilig all the waste or unde- veloped spots.

It is ln1111a11. perhaps, to place tl1e l1cavier portion

ol our b11rde11s upon others; l1un1an also to depend too n1uc|1 upon law a11d legislature and resolutions. The best laws i11 the world, including tl1e tc11 coni- n1a11d1nents, are powerless to clfect a bettermcm of l1111nan conduct unless the l1u1na11 condu_ct places itself i11 line with tl1e laws 1111d their requirements. Penalties may be iinposerl and the few l11\vbre11kers n1ay be kept within bo1111ds,b11t tl1e lawbrcakers i11 this con11nu11ity of ours are 11 small proportion. T|1c Noxious \\"ceds’ .\ct is. in itself. 1111 excellent law, but witl1out the backing of tl1e whole eo1111nu11ity is powerless. Tl1e law provides that certain persons i11 cacll scllool or road district shall sec to it tl111t such weeds as are liable to coiitaniinate tl1c fields of others are eradicated before they niature. but the la\v alone will 11ot cr11di- cate the weeds. .\ better observance rather than a better enforceinent of this law is r`equircd. The sub- ject is to be discussed at one of the meetings and it is hopd tl1at such steps may be taken as will ensure a rigid obscrvaiiee of the law-and if 11ot observance. then cnforcenient.

A united people behind tl1e delegates wl1`o will

assemble to-day. united to advance the interests of the province as a wl1olc. have within their power the making of one of the most promising provi11ces in Canada.

We trust there shall bc 11 full attendance and that

the deliberations will be productive of much good to the province.

IMMIGRATION,

'l`he Hon. Robert Rogers, in a11 address 11t \'\"i11ni-

peg recently, laid the greatest emphasis’ on the neces- sity of making preparations no\v for the expected immigration after tl1e war. He said: “ \\"e ca11 double our population i11 a few years afterlthe war if \ve study and prepare now.” The wisdom of this advice is obvious. The maintenance of immigration is the sheet anchor of Canadian prosperity and dcvelopmeiit.

Of late years Canada has drawn its immigration

from two sources-from Europe a11d the United States. The inflow from the latter has been checked since tl1e war, but 11ot cut off entirely, as in the case of European immigration. The United State,s is at tl1e co11m1e11cen1e11t of a period of great conlmercial prosperity. \'\"l1etl1er this will te11d to keep its citizens within its own borders or will tend rather to 11 larger exodus of its _farmers i11 the Middle West to tl1e Canadian Prairies is not easy to forecast accurately. Even if American immigration returned to or exceed- ed its old figures. the total by itself would bc q11ite i11s11l`licie11t for C11nada’s needs. The Don1i11io11 re- quires as n1ucl1 again from Europe to develop l1cr vacant lands a11d to supply customers for her Eastern factories. It is in full recognition of this supreme inlportailce that i\'lr Rogers madtf his forcible appeal “ [or imniediate prcparatimt of in1n1igration plans and policies which would make certain that tl1e stream ol home-seclters wl1icl1 were filling the country before tl1e war would again flow in our directio11.”

The plans and policies alluded to by the 1\'linister

concern the attraction of suitable immigrants from Europe and most careful preparation for their well- being i11 tl1e new land of their adoption. Both tllesc matters should receive vigorous and immediate atte11- tion 11o\v while the opportunity is here. There are thousands of men in the Mother Country to-day wl1o, though unfit to return to thc firing line, 11re emi11c11tly lit to settle on tl1c land. _ I11 many cases the disable- ment which looses them from the army does not unfit them for emigration. They 110w prefer an open-air life, a11d are unwilling to return to any indoor occupa- tion: Many 11re in receipt of pensions, and all of them have acquired qualities during their military service whieli eminently lit them to make 1nost valuable citi- zcns of Canada.

“Ca11ada,” published in London, suggests that an

be carried o11 i11 all the hospitals and convalescent homes in Great Britain, and in every recreation l11.1t and reading-room in the base camps both in England and at tl1e front. An intelligent and attractive propa- ganda of this kind carried on now would be enor- mously assisted by the presence of so many thousands of Canadians who can bear personal testimony to the truth of this propaganda. We would again urge that the opportunity is here and now, and that, busy as the

Canadian Government is in supplying men and muni- tions for the great war, the Department of the Interior should be itself active in preparing for peace. Every dollar spent now to ensure a flood-tide of immigration will give proportionately far better results than will be obtained by the same expenditure inter on."

PEACE LADY TAKES

A CRUEL REVENGE.

THE HAGUE. Jan. 16.- Because

the hotels are full, the titty newspap- er' correspondents accompanying the Ford peace party. have been quartered lu a Dutch sanitarium.

No guests of the sanltarlum ls per-

mitted to use tobacco or liquor in any form. No meat is allowed to contamin- ate the bill of fare which consists largely of nut-s, ground figs and queer vegetables. Guards of impressive ap- pearance threaten to oust any corres- pondent who falls to obey the regula- tions. l Mme. Sehwimmer arranged tg; the

quarterlng or the correspondents and a press caucus voted that she send the newspaper men to the tobnccoless re~ treat out or revenge. She has been very agry because the correspondente cabled home accounts of the various rows among the peace delegates.

Peace meetings began early today,

but for some reason they are under the auspices ol' the Royal Zoological and Botanical Society instead of being arranged by the Dutch peace So- cietles.

Holland newspapermeu declared

that the Ford enterprise has not yet aroused the interest of the Dutch peace leaders.

Rev. Jenkin Llyod Jones predicted

today that the pernameut peace tri- bunal will slt. at Stockholm instead ot the Hague on account_ol, the friend- ly feeling of the Swedish people to- ward the peace movement.

A secret campaign is being waged

by several ot the Ford leaders to win places on this trlbitnnl which calls for salnrles and expense accounts
